Why have 15-minute cities become the basis of far-right conspiracies? Why are LTNs dividing communities? I wrote for Tribune about the failures of clean air policies in a time of austerity. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/03/behind…

Great weekend out knocking on doors in Sheffield Hallam with Green New Deal Rising🔥 Over the next 18 months they will be holding mass canvasses like these up & down the country - making the case for a transformative #GreenNewDeal. Join the movement🙏🏼💪🏼gndrising.org

Given the government's plans for #netzero are a joke it's difficult to take them seriously 🦄🍦🐎

“Given the final warning for 1.5°C, reports that the Government is off track to meet its own #netzero targets—and the lack of a joined-up plan to tackle the climate-nature crisis—it’s clear we need an environmental rethink, not a net zero reset.”—Olivia Blake MP #EnergySecurityDay

The WWF UK and Climate Change Committee called on the UK Government to introduce a Net Zero Test on all public spending. Great to see Sheffield Labour Councillors pledge to matching this commitment at a Council level. thestar.co.uk/news/politics/…

Tomorrow, I’m bringing the #CEBill back to Parliament. To truly address the global climate-nature crisis, we must align UK law with what’s needed to reverse nature loss by 2030—and keep 1.5°C alive. The CE Bill will do exactly that! 🌍🌱 Zero Hour 🌍

We are on track to breach 1.5C climate threshold by 2027. We need an urgent, science-led, whole government strategy to cut emissions in line with the 1.5C target. The Government needs to back the Climate & Ecology Bill now. #CEBill theguardian.com/environment/20…

💚 Live in Crookes & Crosspool? Care about the climate? As part of #GreatBigGreenWeek, @min_esh and I are holding a Climate Surgery to discuss the local and national action we need to see. 📅 Saturday 17th June 🕚 11am 📍 St Thomas Church, Crookes facebook.com/events/2344214…

Good climate policy must give more to zero carbon targets than fiscal rules. If £28bn p/a is necessary for our green transition, then this compromise will be ecologically disastrous.

⚡ Publicly-owned, zero-emission buses. The #SheffieldConnect city centre circular is getting a zero-carbon upgrade 💪 sheffield-labour-councillors.org/2023/07/06/bre…

Hoping (probably in vain) that the Duke of Rutland will open his ears to what Sheffielders are saying about his willful pollution of our city annually. Will he start acting like a good neighbour, or does he think our lungs are worth less than an anachronistic blood sport?

At our first mass canvass of the year, we knocked on hundreds of doors in Sheffield in support of our GND champion Olivia Blake. Expect a lot more of this next year. We have an election to win.

🚱 In 2022 Yorkshire Water dumped sewage 65 times for 183 hours (= 8 days straight) in the Rivelin Valley. 💰 Meanwhile the privatised utility company made £544 million profit, paying out £62m of dividends. 🪧 Angry? Sign our petition, join our campaign: survey.labour.org.uk/rivelin-valley…
